Song Of the Day: April 24, 2005
After many consecutive listens, and some spitting and hissing, we've decided that we prefer this Australian band's cover to the UK Roulettes' original. When we ponder the fact that the flip of this 45 (both tracks are on the Ugly Things series of compilation LPs) was the quite amazing "You're Against," we're forced to say that this must be one of the great two-siders of all time. Some of Mickey's other favorites off the top of his pointy head:
The Beatles-"Paperback Writer"/"Rain"
The Byrds-"Eight Miles High"/"Why"
Buzzcocks-"I Don't Mind"/"Autonomy"
The Rolling Stones-"Dandelion"/'We Love You"
The Velvet Crush-"One Thing Two Believe"/"If Not True"
What're yours?

I could go on forever, but perhaps:
Kinks - "Sunny Afternoon" b/w "I'm Not Like Everybody Else."
And any of the Tater Totz 7"s. Oh, wait, I take that back.
Billy Nicholls - "Would You Believe?" b/w "Daytime Girl"
I'm wholly unqualified to comment, so I'll just take notes.
Wow. You have GOT to post the flip side of that.
My vote a for a great single:
The Outlets: My Best Friend/You Told Me (Monkees cover).
Thanks, Andrew. I was gonna run "Best Friend" at some point.
Wishniaks - ticker tape trash b/w the river
I swear I would have posted that even if I didn't see Andrew's post...
And while I'm shamelessly sucking up, let me add:
The What Gives - she says (adolescence ends) b/w I hate you for that
Bag o Shells - markers b/w almost home
Beach Boys - barbara ann b/w girl don't tell me
*Day Tripper/We Can Work it Out
*Honky Tonk Women/You Can't
Always Get What You Want
*Hey Jude/Revolution
*There Coming to Take Me Away forward and reverse (only kidding)
999- "nasty, nasty" b/w "no pity"
husker du- "could you be the one" b/w "she's a woman (and now he's a man)"
on "do you remember" records
(bootleg?...), recorded live on the joan rivers show (!?!) bought from wuxtry ca. 1993. version of "could you be the one" makes the album version whimper in fear.

I like "Night of Fear" b/w "Disturbance" by the Move (I swear that their singles were great) and "Til the End of the Day" b/w "Where have all the good times gone" by the Kinks. I also like this D-Coys song. Word 'em up.
this is great, thanks! another great single with beautiful a- & b-sides is the razorcuts' first single "big pink cake" b/w "i'll still be there".
